New Mexican Indigenous Rights

New Mexican Indigenous rights refer to the legal, cultural, and land-related protections afforded to Native American tribes and communities in New Mexico. These rights are rooted in treaties, federal laws, and state policies that recognize the sovereignty of Indigenous peoples, their right to self-governance, and their traditional practices. Key issues include access to land for cultural practices, resource rights, and recognition of tribal sovereignty in decision-making. Efforts to uphold these rights aim to address historical injustices and ensure that Indigenous communities can preserve their heritage and continue their ways of life for future generations.
